ARES 70055-5-inch High Volume Blow Gun with Noise Reduction Nozzle - Lightweight Aluminum Body Meets OSHA Standards

It is replacing an old harbor freight gun that has begun to leak air unless I pull the leaver back after each squeeze. This guns design is deceptive from its looks. The piece in the center is not where the air comes out. It is a cone diffuser. The air comes out from around the base of the cone. Think a water hose nozzle and how it works. This is kinda like that. No tube with air like HF.1) the gun is continuously variable, and has a nice range of operation from a whisper to a scream.2) air is nicely diffused...... while it is pointed right at the nozzle.3) it is quieter than the HF gun at the same airflow4) IT CAN REALLY PUT OUT THE AIR ON FULL.5) NICE finish and weight/heft.I recommend it.

It's a blower. It is well made, comes with a connector, and works like a charm. It is not a piece of crap like some of the blowers out there. I use this on a 230 lb DeWalt compressor and it works great at high or low pressure. It appears to have some type of venturi that channels the air flow. I bought 2 of them because I got tired of replacing blowers. The hot shot Black and Decker blower I had blew literally apart. I bought 2 of these for less than 1/2 of the expensive Black and Decker blower. You can drop this one on concrete and it does not fall apart.

Nothing broke on it yet but the unit feels sturdy all around except the plastic handle I really wish it was thicker or tougher feeling. It does blow a large volumes of air but it doesn't come out of the end so it's not precise. It's great for clearing off the shop dust or cnc table though. I would recommend

Air gun was exactly as advertised, good air valve, excellent handle. Discharge was not out the very end but exited out an "Air Ring" at the tip, being an old school engineer, this freaked me out until I discovered that the air DB was substantially lower than traditional tube air guns and the full length trigger handle allowed me to vary the amount of air release.This is especially helpful when working with milling machines and metal lathes that do not take kindly to blasts of moisture laden air to remove metal chips off tables and ways.My only complaint would be that the designer should have designed a traditional parrot hook on top of the gun, but instead has provided a hole for hanging the gun during non-use.I have my own machine shop and will be buying 6 more of these for my employees, seems they cant live without this air gun Despite this minor design change !!Actually, the fix for this is to attach a large ring thru the hole in the handle, works great !!!A great tool at a great price !!

They say high volume, they mean high volume. This thing drains my air compressor faster than the drain plug on the tank. (I did get 3/8 hose and fittings for a reason, mainly impact gun torque, not this!) But it does do a good job... blowing things.The 'point' where the air converges is pretty wide, so if you're trying to get in nooks and crannies, there isn't really a very small tube that you can point into somewhere to blow, you sort of blow the general area. It is very quiet itself, but the THING you are blowing is what makes the noise, and that is still extremely loud. I regularly use hearing protection when I use this thing. Works great though!

I had a cheap blow gun that I got years ago when I purchased a compressor. It always leaked. This blow gun does not leak. I can't claim I notice that it is all that much quieter but that was not my motivation in getting it. Now, I could come back days later with the compressor being off and still have pressure. Comfortable, light weight and even though I would prefer not to have the plastic handle part, as plastic never lasts forever like metal could, I can't knock off a star as it is completely functional. I really have no complaints - it is a great blow gun.

Almost 5 stars the build quality is amazing with solid attention to detail. feels very nice in your hands no sharp edges with a good weight to it.NEEDS METAL TRIGGER THOUGH, i hope the plastic handle last long or i will be making one for it!i would pay extra for this design with a tough metal trigger for sure!

I love this air gun. It's well built, sold at a lower price than those plastic things with a metal tube that easily break, and it's engineered to amplify the amount of air volume input.I own two for our shop, and will very likely buy another 2 or 3. Well worth it.!
